  1. [R11] FishAngler 5/5 · US Love this app!: I have found this app to be very accurate. Especially with the weather and the prime fishing times of the day.
  2. [R20] FishAngler 5/5 · US Great app and content: This has become my go to source for updates and info. Love the app. Thanks to all that support it.
  3. [R29] FishAngler 5/5 · US FishAngler: Great app, shows the percent chance and clearly shows charts. Also shows a wide variety of ways to catch fish and what lures/baits.Keep it going FishAngler!
  4. [R64] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Pay to use: Not worth your time or money. Everything is locked behind a paywall.
  5. [R9] FishAngler 3/5 · US Hate the app: I do not like the new app, It is way to busy and difficult for me to understand and use, I will no longer be using it. Good bye!!!
  6. [R28] FishAngler 1/5 · US I am too dumb to use this app: I was completely lost using this app maybe I am too dumb but there was no fish id that I could find every screen was over loaded with stuff I was not interested in and I had to pay for Like I said I am just too dumb for this app 🤣 Good luck to all you smart fishermen out there
  7. [R66] Fishing Points 3/5 · US Can’t get the depths to work!: I purchased the premium and when I click on the nautical map to show depths in my lake it doesn’t work. Is this normal? Can you please help me with this! I like the app but the depths is crucial to me! Thanks.
  8. [R81] Fishing Points 3/5 · US App won’t launch: App won’t launch or open as of 5/3/2023. Overall I have enjoyed using this app over the past few years, but I will have to look into another app option if this problem persists. App itself and its features are 5/5, but rating 3/5 due to recent accessibility issues.
  9. [R4] FishAngler 1/5 · US Day 6 of trying to get past the sign in page: Cant sign in. Infinite loading screen. Fix it. Is this app abandoned or something?
  10. [R6] FishAngler 3/5 · US My app keeps crashing: I can’t log in
  11. [R70] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Garbage app: Has no depth chart. Useless garbage app. Waste of time
  12. [R119] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Useless: The gps points on the map are literally off by a mile. I was on a local (northern WI) lake this morning and tried it for the first time. Not only did it show the lake I was on well south on my location, but the 1600 acre lake name wasn’t shown, nor was any bathymetry given.
  13. [R7] FishAngler 1/5 · US Paywalls have ruined FishAngler: After years of contributing and using FishAngler as a community tool for anglers all over the world, the March 2026 update that paywalls seeing other peoples catches has killed the app for me. FishAngler still allows you to log your catches but now they own that data and sell it to other users as a ‘premium’ feature. I’m very sad to be deleting all my data and the
  14. [R19] FishAngler 1/5 · US Fees, fees, fees: They ruined a good thing by charging for the fish forecast. Greedy.
  15. [R31] FishAngler 1/5 · US Used to use religiously: They want to charge for the core function of this app now?!? I get having advanced features to offer at a premium, but to take the basic function of this app and lock behind a paywall is ridiculous. Such a shame.
  16. [R61] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Not what I was looking for: Don’t be like me and pay for a year to find out it’s not worth the money and doesn’t give proper depths and charts
  17. [R1] FishAngler 1/5 · US Terrible support: Talk about trash. These people claim to support veterans but when a vet accidentally was charged for a full year 59.99 for their app they wouldn’t even offer a refund after it was immediately deleted and u used. No customer service. They just blamed Apple. Apple isn’t the owner of the company. They are. They are a joke. Shame on you
  18. [R58] FishAngler 1/5 · US Terrible: This app is awful. It’s not easy to use and very redundant compared to other similar apps. Also be careful when signing up, they will not refund your money even if you cancel the trial subscription.
  19. [R73] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Need refund!: Total scam. This app wasn’t even in my subscription list. Took my hard earned money. $49.99. This app is useless. I will just stick to my other fishing app that actually shows other anglers catches and hotspots. And then they make it hard to actually leave a review! It says choose a nickname but every nickname I choose is taken? Yeah ok!
  20. [R111] Fishing Points 1/5 · US Do not use “free” trial period: They will charge you immediately and keep the money, there is no way to cancel, no way to contact. Apple refuses to support dispute.
